Chapter 56 drink off the mind

At the age of thirty-two, Wang Shouren moved to Qiantang West Lake to recuperate. Drinking medicine for recuperation, I picked up the medicine bowl and was about to drink it, when I suddenly heard that in Hupao Temple, there was an old monk who was sitting in seclusion, and he had not spoken or seen, nor eaten or drank for three years.At that time Wang Shouren was furious, immediately threw away the medicine bowl, and ran to the monk to quarrel. The husband visited and drank it with a Zen machine: "What does this monk talk about all day long?"What are you looking at all day long?

The monk stood up in surprise and bowed, saying to Mr.: "I have been here for three years now, little monk.But Tan Yue kept talking about what to say, what to look at.What do you say? The master said: Where are you from? How many years have you been away from home? The monk replied: A certain Henan native has been away from home for more than ten years. The master said: "Who are other relatives in your family?" The monk replied: There is only one old mother, whose survival is unknown. The teacher said: Do you still remember it? The monk replied: You can't stop thinking.

The master said: Since you can't stop thinking, even though you don't speak all day long, you have already said it in your heart; The monk Meng Xing put his palms together and said: "Tanyue's wonderful theory, I hope to teach it more." The master said: How can the nature of parents be destroyed?If you can't stop thinking, it is the discovery of true nature.Although I sit all day long, my mind is in turmoil.As the saying goes: Parents are the Buddha of Lingshan, who do not respect their parents and respect their people. Before he finished speaking, the monk burst into tears unknowingly, saying: "Tan Yue is very right!"The little monk will return home tomorrow morning to visit my old mother.

The next day, my husband visited him again, and the monk said: "I have returned to my hometown with the burden of five drums." The Master said: Human nature is inherently good, and this monk can prove it. This story is about the well-known Wang Yangming drinking off his Zen mind-at this time, Wang Shouren, because he built Siming Mountain and named it Yangming Cave, so he will be called Mr. Yangming in the future.Ordinary people call it Wang Yangming—Wang Yangming himself called it in "Small Collection with Hu Shaoshen": Dao Mind Rogue Enters Zen Machine. In fact, there is neither Dao Xin nor Zen machine here, the only thing there is a rascal.You know, Wang Yangming himself is a person who has experienced things in life. What he is most afraid of is to experience it personally and experience it with his heart.Although Wang Yangming married six wives at a time, he lingered outside the door of sages all day long, unable to enter the door, just like he failed the imperial examination twice in the first time and lingered outside the officialdom all day long, but his thoughts improved day by day. profound.

The reason why he broke the monk's mind was not that he had entered the realm of sages and enlightened him.It's that he has experienced such things himself and knows that it won't work.So he said to the monk: You don't speak all day long, but you chatter endlessly in your heart.He doesn't look at them all day long, but he sees countless beauties in his heart - he has such insight only because it is also his own personal experience.That's why he came to tell the monk: This is useless, I have used your trick myself, it really doesn't work... This trick doesn't work, so what else can I do?

So Yi devoted himself to the study of sages and sages.Read Zhu Kaoting's Quotations.Play it over and over again.I also read the above Song Guangzong Shuyou said: "Staying respectful and upholding ambition is the foundation of reading; step by step and refinement is the method of reading."Covering the volume and sighing, he said: "Sequential refinement, gradual harmony, so that physics and my heart are seamlessly mixed, is what the sages can do." So I am engaged in investigating things to gain knowledge, and every time I mention a thing, it is a metaphor for Qu Xiao, and I must investigate it to the end.

The only thing that really works is the last trick: Holy Calculation! What is holy calculation?
